Mother Of Bride | Mother Of Groom Outfit Alterations
Finding the perfect Mother of the Bride or Mother of the Groom outfit is only part of the journey. Expert alterations ensure your outfit fits beautifully, feels comfortable throughout the day, and photographs flawlessly from every angle.
As a couture-trained dressmaker with experience working for Catherine Walker, I specialise in luxury occasionwear alterations, creating elegant, flattering silhouettes while preserving the integrity of the original design.
Throughout my career, I have worked on garments from leading fashion houses including Alexander McQueen, Catherine Walker, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Karl Lagerfeld, Prada, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood and Zimmermann. I have also carried out specialist alterations on designer occasionwear from brands including Amur, Chiara Boni, John Charles, Nadine Marabi and Roland Mouret.
Working across both luxury fashion and premium occasionwear has given me a deep understanding of garment structure, fabric behaviour and couture-level finishing. This experience continues to inform my specialist approach to Luxury Designer Alterations and Dance Wear Costume Alterations, where preserving the integrity of the original design is just as important as achieving the perfect fit.
Every alteration is carried out personally within my private Sutton, Surrey studio, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship, discretion and attention to detail.

Grooms & Groomsmen Alterations
I also provide a professional fitting and alteration service for grooms and groomsmen. Check out my Grooms Transformations in Atelier Journal.
Menswear alterations are typically completed closer to the wedding day, with the first fitting usually recommended three to four weeks before the event.
Please bring:
- Full suit
- Shirt(s)
- Belt
- Tie or bow tie
- Pocket square
- Wedding shoes
Shoes and belts play an important role in determining the correct trouser length and overall balance of the outfit.
